Could you let me know a replacement for maple syrup as its not easily available or affordable in India.
Make a sugar or jaggery syrup and use

Wonderful!
Such a delicious cookies!! Used peanut butter instead almond butter, and it went so good. Love this recipe 😋
yummy 🥜
Hi, what is flax meal? Is this same as flaxseed?
Many thanks.
Yes flax seed powdered
Absolutely delicious! Used 3 dates instead of the 1/4 cup sugar, and they’re absolutely delicious. Thanks so much for such a great recipe!!
good to know. thanks
Best cookie batter ever! Am not even sure they will make it to the oven! Thanks for the recipe ❤️
Love, love this recipe. I made it with almond butter and arrowroot powder instead of the tapioca starch. I sprinkled with flaked sea salt before baking. They turned out wonderfully! I’m going to try them with tahini instead of the nut butter next time.
Hey Richa,
Recently tried these but they came out a bit bitter. I think it was the flaxseed. Is there a fix for that? If I omit flax will these still turn out the same?
Also I see you mention chia as a substitute. So that means grounded chia right?
Hmm flax doesn’t Usually add bitterness. Maybe it was the chocolate. You csm if the flax
